Horowitz also highlights the shortcomings of criminal justice responses to social problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSharing detailed narratives from the experiences of those on registries and their loved ones, Horowitz reveals the social impact and cycle of violence that result from dehumanizing and banishing individuals who have already been held accountable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Rage to Reason\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new perspective on how and why false claims about sex offences have become so pervasive and how these myths have fostered ineffective policies with little connection to the reality of most sexual abuse cases. The book argues that to genuinely prevent sexual abuse, it is essential to unearth the sources of these misunderstandings, systematically debunk these claims, and engage in frank and genuine discussions about the limits of legal responses to complex social problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596446023916,"sku":"9798765115817","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9798765115817-from-rage-to-reason.jpg?v=1777925740","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/from-rage-to-reason-by-emily-horowitz-9798765115817","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
